Torque=newton meters, so your job should you choose to accept it, is to figure out how to find the force in newtons and multiply it by 0.92.
Nope. You multiply it by something other then .92. think uniform rod.
the length of the bat is 0.92, which is the same as the radius by which it rotates.
But that's not the radius that the mass rotates, which is what counts.
EDIT: It's not a 2.5 kg mass at the end of a weightless rod, which is what you are calculating, but a uniform 2.5 kg rod.
